when we ask ally who her best friend is, she'll usually say sloane, her pal from school.
but when we ask her who she likes to play with the most, she'll say devon, her cousin. devon is just 5 1/2 months younger than she is, so they are pretty much the same age and really play well together. now, when we go to mark and irene's house, ally pretty much disappears until dinnertime -- or until one of the 4 starts crying, which usually happens every half hour or so.
ally loves playing with griffin, but clearly it's different when you're playing with a toddler who won't follow directions and insists on destroying her tents and stealing her "baby" every time she turns around. with devon, they act silly together, play make-believe together, and boss each other around. we've even caught them ganging up and picking on devon's older brother, peyton, which must be a thrill for devon.
people often think that ally and devon are twins, as they are a similar size, have similar hair, and even a similar face shape. but maybe they think that because they seem to have a strong bond and connection. we are all so happy that they have each other as best friends -- and i hope it's a friendship that lasts them a lifetime.
